Oscillation Of Desire

Between opposing forces of the heart,
respectable self-control of Apollo
and passionate expression of Dionysus,
I balance oscillation of desire
with appellate force of Icarian wings
to analyze and judge creative play.

Through stoic calm of clever fortitude
I attempt to drive piston-engined car
with careful attention to safe approach
that maintains forward motion of four wheels
in turn to actualize successful growth
which proves superior nature of faith.

Aggressive force of passionate endeavor
motivates soul-enhancing enterprise
when I analyze changing consequence,
clarified by flow of cause to effect
that triggers clear original results
safe with inducement of objective play.

Though comprehension of inherent worth
precipitates conditional solutions,
designed to sustain expressive respect,
I deposit mute energy through faith
in sacred mission to institute change
conducive to expansion of the mind.

Between confirmation of self-control,
contrived to manage attitude of hope
with honest deception that should reveal
considerate ringing of psychotic bells,
and unleashed arrogance of shocked relief,
I find safe shelter in haven of dreams.

Thus I expect to catapult my thoughts,
spear-sharpened by projective breath of lust,
straight through curved undulance of honesty
to pierce contemptuous shield of despair
in brilliant victory over fallen gods
ascendant with surprise of truth revealed.

After eating apple of ecstasy,
that he received from Eris with green eyes,
Sariel strums lyre of Mercury and sings
heart-aching melody of naked truth
to explore oscillation of desire
that maintains integrity of his soul.

After snapping some selfies of himself
exploring ruins of the ancient museum,
Sariel posts them on social media sites
with comment about how his heart can feel
spirits of the Muses glowing with life,
then rides the bus to catch the airflight home.

Orpheus meets Sariel at the airport and grins while driving home as he listens to his friend describe his trip to Mount Helicon.
